Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Under many gazes, the six masked Spirits seemed to freeze. They did not move again for a long time. All of the Spirits felt relieved. They had been afraid that the six would turn into sand.
“I’m scared out of my wits.” The Spiritual Son of the Fire Spirit touched himself. He felt relieved when he found he was not injured.
“What the h.e.l.l? Did he only want to scare us?”
“He is stalling for time!”
It turned out that the sword attack of Jiang Chen’s was only used to prevent them from another round of successive attacks. He forced himself to exert that sword movement to hide himself. However, that sword was not useless. When the six masked Spirits intended to attack Jiang Chen, they were suddenly petrified. Staying where they were, they did not dare move at all. Each of them heard slight cracks.
The onlookers saw their masks breaking rapidly, including the bronze mask of the Spiritual Son of the Flame Spirit.
“Noooo….”
The six masked Spirits were frightened out of their wits. They reached for their faces. However, the six masks finally were broken. Their faces were shown to the world. It created a great disturbance. No one could sit still anymore.
It was not because these Spiritual Sons or Ladies were ugly. In fact, they looked okay. The thing was their faces could be memorized by people, including their rival Spirit clans. The mere thought of the Kill Talents project crushed the six Spirits.
Not until then did people notice that those six were quite young. Their average age was about the same as Jiang Chen’s.
The Future Spirit Emperor had das.h.i.+ng eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose. He looked majestic. Despite his young age, he already looked like an emperor. Many people guessed from his look that he was a prince of the Blood Shadow Dynasty.
The Spiritual Sons of the Fire Spirit and the Wind Spirit were even younger than Huo Zhengyu and Wu Ziming. Since they were still in the process of spiritualizing, they looked quite unusual.
The face of the Spiritual Son of the Flame Spirit had the same characteristics as his attacking method. Thick-browed and big-eyed, he looked very masculine.
The Blood Shadow Swordsman was a feminine man. He had long, narrow eyes and thin lips.
The Spiritual Lady of the Wood Spirit was average-looking. And she had freckles on her cheeks.
Except for the Future Spirit Emperor and the Blood Shadow Swordsman, the other four were very anxious. They hurried to cover their faces with their hands, which looked a bit funny.
“That’s useless.”
Frowning, the Future Spirit Emperor said, “The masks not only covered our faces, but also hid our energies and spiritual powers. Now some people with bad intentions have seen our faces. All of us will be on the list of the killers of the Nether World School by tomorrow.”
What he said was not soothing at all. The others were scared and angry. Their eyes were blazing with fury.
They soon found where Jiang Chen was. He was treating his injuries at the edge of the field.
Suffering one defeat after another, if it had been anyone else, they would have died tragically, but he had almost recovered.
“You disgusting human. You just won’t let us go even if you die, will you? That’s too mean!” The Spiritual Son of the Wind Spirit cursed in anger.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. You six attacked me together. You did whatever you could, including a surprise attack from behind. And that wasn’t mean at all.”
Jiang Chen shut the six Spirits up right away, although they had tried to put the blame on him. And he also reminded everyone of his current situation.
“You will absolutely die today.”
After a good while, the six finally realized it was useless for them to be worried about the future. The killers would not come right away to kill them, but they were going to kill Jiang Chen right away.
“You don’t have any chance. You’ll die like a dog!”
The Spiritual Son of the Fire Spirit launched another attack. The Spiritual Lady of the Wood Spirit and the Spiritual Son of the Wind Spirit followed. The Spiritual Son of the Flame Spirit found a good angle to collide with him. The Blood Shadow Swordsman was holding a fragment between two of his fingers. The Future Spirit Emperor was ready.
If nothing surprising arose, Jiang Chen would suffer the six Spirits’ successive attacks again.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” However, Jiang Chen burst out laughing, not taking the three Spirits who were attacking him seriously at all. He looked mad, like a beast waiting for the last battle.
“Is he mad?”
People felt heartbroken to see Jiang Chen like this. He was supposed to be a brilliant rising star, but he would end in tragedy because he intended to challenge the impossible.
Boom!
A sudden dramatic turn happened. The three Spirits in the front were sent flying by an invisible power, which seemed unbelievable to them. They might not be as good as Jiang Chen, but neither were they so weak that they could be sent flying so easily.
Boom!
However, a stronger energy was emitted from Jiang Chen’s body, which pushed them backward once again.
“What happened?!” People were confused. Not until the third boom had come did they realize this rhythm had something to do with a heartbeat. A great change happened to Jiang Chen before people could even process it.
Chainlike thunder and lightning were dancing widely around him, crackling and spluttering. At the center of the thunder and lightning, namely, in Jiang Chen’s chest, a mysterious flame was rising.
“You Spirits are wonderful mentors. Let me take you to your graves, as a way to express my grat.i.tude to you.”
The heartbeat-like rhythm went on. The thunder and lightning and the flames became fiercer after each beat.
“Is he going to combine the Alien Flame and his striking thunder power?!”
“Isn’t he courting death by doing that?”
“Does he want to turn himself into a great bomb to kill the enemy?”
Seeing what he was doing, the crowd was shocked.
Yao Tians.h.i.+, the headmaster of the Mysterious Thunder School, showed a surprised look for the first time. He was totally astonished by what Jiang Chen was doing.
Jiang Chen exerted the Five Thunders Authentic Method to gather his striking thunder power. At the same time, he exerted the Divine Fire Scripture to take advantage of the Sky-burning Evil Flame.
His two fiercest powers were merging. According to him, this idea should have come from the Spiritual Son of the Flame Spirit.
The thing was Jiang Chen was not a Spirit. The Spiritual Son of the Flame Spirit had a special body. He had been practicing thunder methods using that body. Everything seemed natural.
Jiang Chen was totally crazy to do what he was doing. He could lose his life.
“What should we do??”
The six Spirits on the battlefield glanced at each other. None of them had the nerve to confront him.
Once the bomb was ignited, there would not even be a dead body left.
“Eh? Let’s retreat farther.” The Future Spirit Emperor aired his opinion.
In this way, people saw the six Spirits retreating to the edge of the battlefield. All of them were looking at Jiang Chen nervously, frowning.
“If Jiang Chen really explodes, what will happen?”
“The Sky-burning Evil Flame together with the power of thunder, my gos.h.!.+”
The onlookers also kept stepping back, afraid of any possible danger.
Bang!
A huge blare sounded. The whole world covered their eyes with their hands involuntarily. The six Spirits on the battlefield almost fled the fight due to fear. However, then they realized nothing had happened except the blare.
No one knew that that blare was actually Jiang Chen’s heartbeat. After that, all of the thunder and lightning and flames flew into his heart.
Jiang Chen looked extremely majestic during this process. His hair danced wildly. His face turned colder and colder. When all of the thunder and lightning and flames had entered his heart, all of the visions disappeared.
“Which of you will die first?”
Jiang Chen raised both of his swords, glancing over the six.
In a weird silence, his body exploded once again like the outbreak of a flood.
“What on earth happened?!”
